Assessment of heparin anticoagulation by Sonoclot Analyzer in arterial reconstruction surgery. (PMID:21422535) Lee B,   Al-Waili N,   Butler G,   Salom K Department of Surgery, New York Medical College, New York, NY, USA. Technology and Health Care : Official Journal of the European Society for Engineering and Medicine   [2011, 19(2):109-114] Type:   Journal Article Abstract Since   heparin   has been in use as an   anticoagulant   during vascular surgery and medical problems such as DVT or   pulmonary embolism , there has been no consensus as to the best method of monitoring its effect on anticoagulation. In this study we used Sonoclot Analyzer to detect   Hemostasis   changes resulting from   heparin   administration. The study involved 16 randomly selected male patients undergoing peripheral reconstructive surgery. Blood samples were drawn and analyzed in the operating room on the Sonoclot   Coagulation   and

Thrombotic and haemorrhagic complications affect cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in haemodialysis patients. We investigated whether a new bedside Sonoclot analysis is useful for determining an appropriate heparin dose during haemodialysis.  Methods. Twenty‐two haemodialysis patients (15 males and seven females) treated with unfractionated heparin were recruited. Sonoclot parameters, including act
